Karnataka farmers can now apply for an 80% subsidy on solar irrigation pump sets under the PM KUSUM-B scheme. This initiative, implemented by CESC, aims to reduce reliance on conventional electricity for irrigation by providing solar-powered pump sets at subsidized rates, with farmers covering only 20% of the cost. The scheme, supported by state and central governments, prioritizes off-grid solar pump sets and has a December deadline for applications, with registration available online.
